Torrents are a neat way to download videos, but the’re not quite as convenient as a stream. Fortunately, Torrents Time is a browser plugin that allows you to stream torrents directly in your browser.

By itself, the plugin only allows you to stream torrents, but you still need content to stream. However, the Pirate Bay has stepped up to add support for the beta project to its site. You can now go to the Pirate Bay and stream torrents directly from the site, as long as you have the plugin installed.

Torrents Time works in most browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer). The company appears to be monetizing by offering a paid VPN service, in case you’re wondering how an app designed in no small part for piracy is making money. Which is a reasonable concern.

Still, this obviously comes with a ton of the usual disclaimers: the Pirate Bay contains a ton of illegal content. The site itself has a sketchy legal history. Running browser plugins from third-party sources that are violating copyright law might not be the best idea. However, the concept of streaming torrents is a very fascinating one on a technological level, so we’ll trust Lifehacker readers to use good judgment when using it.
